Snow Day Round 1

So January in the mountains has turned out to be rather cold and snowy. We've had so much snow and cold, Ollie has only been to school twice this month. Guess that leaves more time for fun in the snow.  So that's what we've been up to, playing in the snow. 

Checking on the chickens

Fun with Mommy

Fun making snow angles with daddy

Tasting snow for the first time

Ollie is a fan of the snow

Our Little Picasso

Hmmmmmmm, what should I paint???

Painting can get messy

But it sure it is fun!

Yes, he made sure to get it all over himself

He loves to paint and prefers his fingers over the paintbrush any day

Santa's Three Stops

Santa sure was busy Christmas Eve having to deliver Ollie's presents to three different houses. We're so glad he was able to find us for all of our fun Christmas celebrations.

What a wonderful Christmas we had with our friends and family. Ollie is just starting to get the gist of the holiday season and it's so much fun. We can't wait until next Christmas! So, I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas, because we sure did! Oh yeah and Happy New Year!! 

Harvey House Highlights

We spent Christmas Eve at my Dad's house with the Harvey clan.  Such a fun evening spending time with family and celebrating Christmas. Here are some highlights from our holiday

These 3 little elves were so cute!

Countdown to Santa

So, Ollie wasn't too sure about Santa this year. I think he enjoyed the idea of who Santa is and the concept of gifts and Christmas in general, but Santa in real life was terrifying. Here's this years picture with Santa

Oh Ollie's not in it...he wouldn't sit with his cousins and couldn't even handle Santa. In fact Santa told the girls that Ollie won loudest screamer of the season. 

Cardboard cut out of Santa at Grammys house, much more his speed

Two can play at this picture taking game. 

Day before Christmas Eve, ready to open presents...Guess Santa is ok, just as long as he brings presents
